Dear Colleagues,
The attack by Laredo National Bank, its president Gary Jacobs, and the
notorious Hank family empire of Mexico (subject of Federal Reserve Board
actions regarding the Laredo bank) against press freedom and against various
journalists has been one of the stories Narco News has covered extensively.
On October 25th, US Court Magistrate Judge Nancy A. Vechiarelli DENIED all
motions by Laredo National Bank to compell professor Donald Schulz to turn
over information to the Bank. Schulz has been accused by the bank of leaking
US government documents that may implicate the bank and the Hank family in
alleged money laundering and narco-trafficking.
For the past two years, the Hanks and/or Jacobs' Laredo National Bank have
engaged in a campaign of terrorism against Press Freedom, sending a
threatening demand for silence and $10 million in alleged "damages" to
journalist Julie Reynolds of El Andar magazine, suing and harrassing
journalist and investment banker Chris Whalen, suing and harrassing
professor Donald Schulz, and even attempting, in vain, to subpoena reporters
from the Washington Post and El Financiero. Attempts by Laredo National Bank
to subpoena Dolia Estevez, Washington bureau chief of El Financiero in
Mexico City, and force her to testify about her news sources were defeated
by US Magistrate Judge Welton Curtis Sewell last spring, who declared the
attempted subpoena "appears to be nothing more than a fishing expedition."
Gary Jacobs' campaign of litigious terrorism against the press and its news
sources is coming unglued. The latest development: an October 25th court
recommendation that all of Laredo National Banks harrassing motions in the
case against Schulz be denied, and the suggestion that the bank may have
engaged in a "frivolous" lawsuit - opening the door for a countersuit by
Schulz (and, by natural extension, by Chris Whalen). The Court states:
"Laredo... has not discussed the merits of a single claim of the complaint
or the elements necessary to prove a single count - or even made a colorable
showing that its claims are not frivolous." The new Court ruling will also
probably mean the end of Laredo National Bank's efforts to toy with the
First Amendment by attempting to subpoena Dolia Estevez and other
reporters....
